Wolves have had an £18milllion bid accepted by Chelsea for striker Tammy Abraham. The forward has spent the first half of the season on loan at Aston Villa, where he’s scored 16 goals in 20 appearances in the Championship.
Wolves are desperate to add to their attack given the uncertainty over a permanent move for Raul Jimenez and believe Abraham can add more firepower to their frontline.
Abraham’s move will be a huge blow for Villa, who are currently 10th in the league and five points off the play-off spots.
Abraham leaves Chelsea having only made three senior appearances for the Blues. The forward spent last season on loan at Swansea and his decision to join Villa in the Championship was a surprising one.
Abraham will now speak to Wolves to negotiate personal terms but the club are well positioned to better his current salary. Chelsea announced a £57m deal for Dortmund winger Christian Pulisic this morning, though he will spend the rest of the season on loan at the club.
